Now more and more tools are starting to integrate AI Functions. Earlier I discovered this “Cleaner Cat”Mac A system cleanup tool, in addition to common junk files, unnecessary large files, duplicate files, and other cleaning functions, combines LLM Smart Analysis uses AI to analyze your system and provide recommendations. It also comes with a handy system monitoring feature – definitely worth trying out.
The lifetime version is currently available for free for a limited time. No payment required — use it free forever. The free offer is expected to end on 4/10.
Cleaner Cat is a Mac system cleanup tool that combines LLM intelligent analysis with system monitoring capabilities.
Cleaner Cat is a Mac utility focused on AI-powered smart cleaning. Unlike traditional cleaning software, it doesn’t just list a bunch of files for you to decide on yourself. Instead, it uses a large language model (Alibaba Cloud) to analyze your system and file content, automatically generating personalized cleanup recommendations.
Additionally, note that Cleaner Cat is not a conversational AI chat tool, but rather one that first performs a system scan, then uses AI to analyze the scan results and provide organization recommendations.
In terms of features, it supports common system junk cleanup, including cache files, leftover system update files, backup data, and trash contents, while also being able to clear temporary files and logs generated by various applications such as Xcode, VS Code, Docker, and other development tools.
It also provides complete app removal functionality that can clean up all related leftover files to prevent long-term storage accumulation. Additionally, it includes duplicate file detection and large file scanning to help users quickly identify key sources of storage usage.
In addition, it can also monitor memory and CPU usage in real time, displaying relevant information through the menu bar, so you can keep track of your computer’s performance at all times.
